Re-outbound!!

-

Yes, thats me. Finally i am done with it. This is what stopped me from getting my first year marks sheet. Thats RE_OUTBOUND for you. The outbound program is one of the most exciting activities that we have done here in college as part of the 2 years PGDM curriculum. Some of the activities include rock climbing, cave exploration, zoomering, rapelling, Day navigation, night navigation, map reading, cooking with firewood on top of a hill, passing through elephant trenches and spotting Cheetahs (something that i missed and will remain a mystery forever in TAPMI) Oh man its one hell of an experience and i was lucky enough to go twice.
Wait a minute. You think i was the privileged one to go twice? Nah, it was an accident. The accident in hostel that left me with a ligament tear on my last birthday was the sole cause of me visiting Nataraja Gurukula twice. Some esteemed person said it was my negative attitude and cynicism. Does it matter now? Anyway, I collected my marks sheet yesterday!

Beaches are always a favourite amongst most of us, except the ones who call themselves exclusively the mountain persons these days ! This blog is about our vacation in Andaman during summer 2024. This was a unique trip with a group of friends formed by our children (our kids happen to be school friends) and we parents met socially couple of times and eventually became friends too. Andaman is a paradise for aquatic lovers, be it nature, sunrise/sunsets, food or adventure. This trip was organised by a local tour agent, Mr. Tabun, based in Port Blair. He did a great job. Ping me if you'd like his contact details. The rough itinerary was like this:  Day Places Places visited/ activity Name of hotel/resort  1.  Port Blair Corbyn Cove beach, Cellular Jail Peerless resort 2.  Port Blair Baratang Island Peerless resort  3 ...

The most extravagant gathering that mankind has ever witnessed

Yes, you guessed right, the Mahakumbh. I was fortunate to experience this in person on 21st Feb 2025. I would never have attempted to visit the Kumbh Mela even in my wildest imagination. Our dear friends CJ and GC mentioned on our WhatsApp group about their plan to visit the Kumbh. This triggered our curiosity. TJ and I quickly checked the flight fares. It was more expensive than usual. But it was the Kumbh, so it ought to be. After contemplating about the overall budget and availability of accommodation, we decided to take the plunge. We booked our flight from BLR to Varanasi and a cab from Varanasi to Prayagraj. Our stay would be at IRCTC Mahakumbh Gram in Prayagraj (Friday) and Hotel Utsav Grand in Varanasi (Saturday), one night each. We would fly back on Sunday evening from Varanasi to BLR. Few days after we booked the tickets, it was the Mouni Amavasya Shahi Snan, followed by the stampede. You can imagine our plight!!  Throughout the month leading up to our trip, we heard vari...

This was a long-awaited group trip that we friends wanted to check off since last few years. What started off with  a plan to visit Kailash Manasarovar, ended with a Do Dham Yatra. With initial research we found that the Govt of India was not conducting the Kailash Yatra ever since Covid times. So instead we decided to plan the trip to Badrinath and Kedarnath  and delighted that we completed it successfully. Through this blog I would like to describe our itinerary, giving some essential tips from our experience so that it would help future travellers. Day Places visited Stay @ 1 Arrive at New Delhi and get picked by driver with Tempo Traveler. Drive to Haridwar, enroute lunch at Shiva Dhaba (excellent) El Grovia (very avg- not reco) 2 Check out after breakfast and proceed towards Sersi (Rampur). Enroute visit Dev Prayag Hotel Panchwat...
